Addiction Counselor

Barbara Kreedman, Ph.D, LCSW

Licensed Psychotherapist

I work very well with drug and alcohol addicted individuals. I am in favor of inpatient only to stablize the individual so that they are better able to be receptive to treatment. The more an individual is "medicated" the less the treatment is successful. People act our their hurt and addiction is one avenue that offers an immediate "numbness" to their internal pain. Understanding what they choose to not address is key to their ongoing recovery. They need to stay sober and gain better control over the unresolved "past issues" that create the need for escape. Gaining control over the hurt and helplessness of the past, as well as valuing the self creates a remarkable recovery.

Philip Kolba, MA LMHC NCC

Psychotherapist

Addiction is a mental health condition and I treat addiction by a multi-pronged process predominately from a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) model. I help my clients understand the reasons they use a substance or engage in an addictive behavior, teach them skills regulate their emotions and tolerance distress that might otherwise lead them to engage in their addiction, and address any underlying issues that contribute to their addiction. I also help clients with with concerns about their substance use or compulsive behavior to avoid developing addictions.

While most treatment approaches to addiction include 12 step programs, rehabs, and now sober living houses, Grey Matters International, Inc. provides a wildly successful alternative to traditional models of addiction treatment----that keeps the brain in mind. That is, talking to the conscious brain while the primal brain is deciding things even before you are consciously aware? Well, that is the problem to solve in addiction. We have the solution utilizing a new cutting edge neuroscience-centered brain rebalancing system. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or call 877-606-6161.
